Marathon Training Log - December 9th - Day 9 - 3 miles

This morning was fairly warm with a misting rain. The wind was blowing out of the northwest at probably 10-15 mph. Temperature was maybe 45. I left the house about 5:50. The first mile or so, my hip hurt some with each step, but gradually loosened up. I am starting to think maybe it was a pulled muscle or something, since it feels better after running a while. Really started to pick up speed, and then turned for the 1 mile home stretch... into the north wind. Slowed me down some, and made breathing a little tougher. I gutted it out (wasn't really that bad) and finished with a respectable 23:34.
